I started having problems with admins "Signing in" on some of my apps. I have no idea why. I started a new app from scratch to try and see why this might be happening. Even in the new app it happened. The only app of mine which allows admins to sign in is the oldest app I have, and I cross examined the controllers, helpers, models and even the views, just to check the differences between the one app that allows admins to sign in and the others that don't. There are no differences.

Anyone got any ideas why?

I create a user - works perfectly. I can sign in and out as many times as I please. I toggle the user admin, and then I can not longer sign in anymore. It just redirects to the sign in page, which means that the session failed. I think it is a problem with password encryption - but honestly don't have a clue.

Its important to put in the password. I had forgotten to do this because I was trying to learn the process without looking at the tutorial every time, and forgot the password part. So just as I supected, I could log into my admin accounts without a password, then go to edit user and change the password back to what it was.
